OXNARD, Calif. -- Life without Dez Bryant hasn't been all that painful for the Cowboys so far.
Sure, the receiver-cornerback one-on-one drills in training camp lack some of the energy that Bryant brought each day, but the Cowboys' receiver-by-committee approach appears to be taking shape.
Through two weeks of training camp practices and the preseason opener Thursday night at San Francisco, the Cowboys have started to figure out what they have at receiver after moving on from Bryant in the offseason.
The Cowboys know that there isn't a clear No. 1 receiver on the roster, but they believe they can be effective in numbers rather than name.
